Is It Possible to Remove a Congenital Hairy Nevus? Price? (photo)

February 4, 2012
Asked By:Hannah in Brooklyn in Brooklyn, NY

I have a 4inch long x 2inch wide congenital hairy nevus on the inside of my upper right arm. It's very large and looks like it has dozens of small beauty marks inside it. What would the process of removing it include and how much would it cost? Thank you!
